Territory,

Yesterday man stopped 10 front
of the Court house with a queer
covered wagon, very narrow in the
beam and about 20 feet in the
keel. He hitched to apost in front
of the Capitol square and presently
a lot of men came over and asked
him why he used such long wagon.
He replied:
cit used to be four feet longer. "
eyes? Well why did you
make it shorter them"

"What's that d queer ma
chine you have there on the side ?'

Spouse. The crowd then passed

The Fair Holiday.

Some day next week either on the
9th or 2Sth the APPEAL proposes
to close up its shop and allow its
compositors to attend the State
Fair, and further it proposes to dis
charge ever mothers son of 'em

institution, it makes an era in the
prosperity and progress of the State
and every man, woman and child
in Nevada should help in supporting
it. In years gone by few men
have worked hard and spent money
bearing alone the burdens of the
Fair. The Fair Is no longer a
burden to anybody and it should be
made season of recreation and
pleasure for the State. From all
accounts this is the best attended
Fair the State has ever seen and its
success will spur the District Fairs
up to be successes almost as good

A Child Burned to Death.

Tuesday evening, Sep. 18th, the
youngest child of Bob Berry, of
Candelaria, was burned to death.
The parents were away from home,
and the child, a baby Of less than a
year old, while playing with it's
brother, a boy about nine years of
age, got some kerosene on it's
clothes. Unfortunately there were
some matches within its reach, and
while lighting them the baby set its
clothes on fire. The little boy
courageously dragged the child out
of the house and put out the fire,
receiving some severe burns in its
attempt to save the little one, but
before he succeeded in subduing
the flames, enough injury had been
done to cause death in a short
time.

Who was He?

The following letter was received
by the Governor yesterday, and is
published in the hope of elicting
the desired information:
KILMARY .CAsTLEIsLAND, Kerry Co.
Ireland, Sept. 6, 1887.
SIR Twill you be good enough
to excuse me for taking the
liberty of thus addressing you, but
l really do not know how to obtain
the information seek, and perhaps
you will be good enough to send
this letter to the proper officers and
request them if possible, to supply
me with the desired information.
A man named James Walsh emil
grated from this country some or
7 years ago. 1t is important now
to ascertain whether he is alive or
dead. A letter was addressed to
his father, Michael Walsh, on the
9th of July, 1882, by man named
Thomas Enright,-a friend of the
Walshes-in which he states that
he and James Walsh left Idaho Ter
ritory together, and went through
the mountains to Nevada Territory,
towards mining camp, and that
they met six robbers who robbed
them of their money and shot James
Walsh on his refusing to give up his
money. He says that Walsh died
in four hours after being shot, and
was buried on the 9Th of July, 1882.
Enright dates his letters from Ne
vada. Does he now live there? Is
there any record of such a transac-
ton or of the burial of James
Walsh? If there be, and that a
certificate thereof is sent, the prop
er fees will be paid. / have the
honor to be your obedient servant,
GEORGE RAYMOND.
The Hon. the Governor Nevada

The Orphans Display.

Mrs. M. E Jones, teacher at
the State Orphans Home, ariived
in Reno yesterday and brought
with her fine display of work made
by the children of the Home. 1t
occupies quite space on the
upper floor of the Pavilion and
should be an interesting feature
to all who attend the Fair; the dis
play consists of clay moulding,
which is formed with a stick,
crochet, etching, drawings and
other work which an experienced
person might well be proud of. All
of the work was done by the child
rem under fourteen years of age,
and is a credit to the State wards.

Coming This Way.

John Wood received letter from
a man in Massachusetts, yesterday
which stated that next Spring over
1000 families in Massachusetts, are
coming to the Pacific Coast to To-
cate. OF course California will
catch all this immigration, but if
the last Legislature had done its
duty, Nevada might of had an I'M
migration Society that would have
been able to have diverted some of
these families this way to settle on
our magnificent soil to help build
up this State. Perhaps the next
Legislature will have more sense.

The boom of real estate in Lower

kets, furnishing goods, etc., at their
store on Monday, Sept. 9Th, 1887

A New Syndicate.

The Post says that new syndi-
Gates will eventually appear on Pine
street in the near future, and that
their presence will materially aid
the market, may be taken as an as
sured fact. But until all outside
matters are arranged satisfactorily
it is most unlikely that any immedi-
ate or lasting changes will take
place. The South end mines will
drift eventually into the hands of
one powerful syndicate. Arrange
ments have already been fully
agreed upon to that effect. They
will cooperate to certain extent
with the operators in the middle
mines, while the North end will be
under the wing of an old-time OPP
orator, who will likely, when the
proper time arrives, come promi-
nently to the front. The market
is now wavering under An influence
of outsiders, and the fluctuations
are chiefly due to the whimsical
fancies created by the pointers
which, - usual, food the street.

children,g Day At Deer PARK.

Reported for the Democrallc AuNocAleI
Childrens Day at Deer Park NJ. P. Church
was one of pleasantness. The church was
filed to its utmost capacity, SO that there was
not even standing room. A great many were
unable to get inside Of the church.
Previous preparation had been made for
the service The church was handsomely
decorated. Over every window was an arch OF
ivy (laureD wreathed with sprigs of puzzle
grass. lockwood and perrywinEle. In the
front, crescent shape, were the words ''Chil.
dren's Day. made of letters covered with
ivy leaves. On each side of this were the
notices, "Feed my lambs, and "dather
them in
Over the pulpit was a large arch of bloom
ing ivy, in the middle of which was n cage
with a yellow canary, which sang sweetly.
Just beneath these were a row of potted
flowers and handsomely arranged bouquets,
rejecting much to the taste of those who ar
ranged them. A cross covered with crowfoOt
stood lust in front of the stand. At its top
was crown, symbolizing the thought that,
mo Cross, No Crown" AT the foot of the
cross reclined the Bible.
The occasion was one of interest to the
children, many of whom participated in the
exercises, by recitations and singing. Among
those who took an active part in the exercises
were Supt Davis, assistant Supt. Baker,
Misses Fannie Buckingham, Edna Caples,
Josie Smith, Messrs. Charley Smith, Frank
Brightwell, Harry Buckingham, Phineas
Shipley, George Caple. The one and only
great drawback was the want-of room. This
need not continue long if the people were
amind to work.
The Rev. Mr.. Jones, of the U. B. Church,
was present and took part in the service.

A brilliant coneourse of friends and rela-
tives assembled at the NJ P. Church, Union
town, June 22d, to witness the marriage OF
Mr.. Geo. C. ManHerz, of near diminishing,
to Miss Sue C. Brown, daughter of Mr.. John
A. Brown. of our town.
At the appointed hour, ?. NJ, to the
merry pealing of the bells, the wedding party
arrived at the church. As they entered: pre-
coded by the four ushers, Messrs. Walter
Brown, Nee. Brown, Willie Devilbiss, and
Frank Hoffman, the beautiful strains of Men
delssohn's wedding march were heard, render
ed by Mr. d. A. C. Webster.
Having arrived at the chancel, the ceremo-
nv was performed in very touching and i'm
pressive manner by Rev. I. d. Valiant. The
church was magni6cently decorated with
bright and beautiful flowers, and presented a
very attractive appearance. The bride was
handsomely attired in q plum colored silk,
white hat with cream feathers and ribbons,
and carried in her hand bunch Of those
sweet old fashioned lilies, and for perfect
composure excelled all whom we ever saw.
The groom looked his best in the conventional
suit of black.
After the marriage the friends repaired to
the hospitable home of the brides father,
where an elegant collation. was served from
go to 5. We have often heard of tables
groaning beneath their load; but we thought
we actually heard this one groan. The deco
rations were two handsome pyramids of flow
ers, which added so much to the general ele-
egant appearance-an it carried us back to
''Auld Lang Syne'' in which we had enjoyed
other scenes, equally as bright and pleasant.
One hundred and fifty guests partook of re-
freshments, and if Mr.. Browns house was
as large as his heart, as many more would
have partaken.
The presents numbered over one hundred.
A full dinner set of la pieces was gift from
her father, glass and silverware, table linen,
and household effects generally were bestowed
upon her by her numerous friends.
